- Contra Costa County
In the county of Contra Costa, home owners are faced with a large variety of soils; some may be deep clay of San Ramon and Danville, others soft and moisture sensitive like in the communities of Martinez, Hercules, and the Delta. These moving soils may exert disproportionate pressure on foundations and this leads to the gradual sinking or tilt of some parts of a home. Neighborhoods constructed on hilly slopes such as those found in Orinda, Lafayette and Walnut creek are prone to having wall cracks, sloping floors and unstable foundations due to the seasonal changes in the ground during the rainy seasons and the dry period when the soil contracts.
Settlement problems also affect homes in Concord, Pleasant Hill, Brentwood, and El Cerrito because of fill dirt, outdated construction techniques and decades of natural soil movement. These mixed conditions demand deep anchoring of foundations and the use of helical piers and push piers can give this anchoring. These systems prevent settlement in your home by redistributing your home weight onto strong, load carrying soil that is many feet below the shifting surface and reinforces the structure of the whole county in the long run.
Helical Deck and Porch Helical Piers
The additions rely on decks, porches, additions to homes that may rely on stronger support systems that can be offered by concrete footings.
Helical piers provide reliable service in such high-rise buildings by:
- Developing solid, stable anchoring foundations under loose or loose soil.
- Decks on slopes or unbalanced areas.
- Preventing sagging, tilting or drawing away the home.
- Offering intense loads capacity of multi-level decks.
- Removal of the risk of concrete footings pumping or cracking.
- Installation in narrow or restricted spaces.
- Providing rapid installation without huge excavation.
Helical piers make the decks and porches remain level, secure and sound structurally decades.
Are Helical Piers a Permanent Fix?
Any long-term solution foundation is initiated by knowledge about the performance of the pier system in the long term.
Deep Anchoring Which Fights Seasonal Soil Movement
Since helical piers go down to solid and undisturbed soil layers, they will not be carried around even when the surface layers move over the year.
Steel Construction to last a long time
Coated or galvanized steel is resistant to corrosions, exposure to water, and soil-related conditions such as those prevalent in Contra Costa County.
Designed to Avert Future Settlement
Helical piers are created to prevent the continuous sinking of the home by once placed and locked in, strong soil, redistributing weight at the home at the stable layers below.
How to Choose the Right Pier System for Your Home
The right pier system will require depending on what your soil is like, your design of foundation and the form of settlement you are having. Helical piers are the best to use in homes and additions as well as all structures erected on a soft soil since they are screwed into the soil till they hit the hard stable layers. Their installation on the basis of torque gives a dependable checking of the load and hence they have become a favorite choice in regions where the ground movement is erratic.
Push piers on the other hand involve the weight of a home pushing the pier down and are common on heavier structures that exhibit high levels of sinking. Push piers are more efficient in depth in the areas of Contra Costa County where settlement is more advanced. A professional analysis identifies the system that provides the best long-term stabilization to your particular property.

Verified Client Reviews
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
